Five more celebrities were mentioned in Diddy trial by Cassie during cross-examination

Warning: Coverage of the Diddy trial contains discussion of sexual harassment and domestic violence which some readers may find distressing.

Cassie mentioned more celebrities during the trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs as she faced cross-examination.

Full name Casandra Ventura, she appeared in court again yesterday (15 May), having testified this week with further details of alleged abuse at the hands of her ex-partner.

Combs faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution - all of which he has denied.

As the prosecution’s key witness, Cassie has continued to reveal more about the alleged drug-fuelled ‘freak offs’ orchestrated by the rapper, who she was in an on-and-off relationship with from 2007 to 2018.

During her testimony, the singer had mentioned a number of celebrities, including Drake, Prince and Kid Cudi. And there have been more references made.

Yesterday, Cassie claimed Diddy brought Spears to her 21^st birthday party. It was at this event that the singer says she first kissed the rapper and their relationship began.

Her party was held at a club in Las Vegas as Cassie claimed Combs brought along stars with him.

Bruce Willis

The actor’s name was brought up during the trial yesterday as text messages between Cassie and Combs were shown to the jury.

This was as the singer made reference to other celebrity couples, particularly with stars who had children with other people (Diddy had a number of kids before their relationship began).

“As much as you think you're Bruce Willis, you aren't,” Cassie had texted in 2013. “He's married, and before he was married, the family as a whole went on trips together or just him and his woman.”

Eddie Murphy

In a similar sense, Cassie made reference to Murphy and his wife Paige Butcher, who he began dating in 2012.

“Eddie Murphy and Paige took his kids away on their own,” she wrote. “I don’t think that you sympathise with my feelings. I understand you feeling like you need to protect your children but after a while…it's like for what?”

Michael B Jordan

The Sinners star came up as Cassie testified that Combs suspected her of having an affair with him.

“Mr. Combs suspected you of a relationship with whom?” one of the rapper’s attorneys asked as she responded with Jordan’s name.

When the jury was being selected for the trial, potential jurors were asked if they were familiar with numerous celebrities, including the actor. It has been said that Jordan is not expected to testify.

Dallas Austin

The songwriter and producer was brought up alongside Spears as Cassie said he also attended her 21^st in Vegas.

“Sean was there and he brought Dallas Austin, Britney Spears,” she testified. “I think those were the two people that stand out to me.”
